A Tidbit of A Suz Day

Climbing The Sogo Yukidian Stairway

The shots show the Phalaenopsis’ raceme with the peduncle (flower stem) and the stalk (pedicel) of each individual orchid flower that branches from the peduncle. The raceme reminds me of a stairway, so I’ve entitled this collection of five photos -“Climbing the Sogo Yukidan Stairway“.

The first photo represents the beginning of the ascent up the Sogo Yukidian stairway, with the following three photos featuring the actual climb along the orchid’s raceme. The last photo represents the return journey to the beginning of the stairway.
